Applications - NDT

Non Destructive Testing with
High Intensity UV-light ( Black Light )


Fluorescent Magnetic Particle Inspection (FMPI) and Fluorescent Penetrant Inspection (FPI) are common methods in the NDT field, and the
Labino® UV-lamp is unbeatable using either of the methods.

 

A new generation – a new performance

Before magnetic particle inspection (MPI) and fluorescent penetrant inspection (FPI) became standard practices, traditional UV-A lamps were used in NDT, typically fitted with 125 W mercury vapor bulbs. A traditional mercury vapor UV-A lamp requires 15 minutes to reach full effect. In case the lamp is exposed to magnetic fields, it will shut-off, needing 10-15 minutes to cool-off and 10-15 minutes to warm up again. Burn injuries on the hands and face were common due to extensive heat generation. A UV-lamp was normally left on for a long period of time, heating the entire work place, with excessive energy being consumed as well. The bulbs were heavy and fragile with comparatively short service lives.

 

What makes the Labino® UV-lamp unbeatable?

  • The Labino UV Lamp (black light) offers unprecedented UV-intensity, up to >50 000 µW/cm² at 30 cm and full UV-A emission. This creates new possibilities, i.e. inspections in normally lit areas, even outdoors in daylight with main­tained contrast-to-background and maximized probability of detection. Quality and safety is improved and the time needed to complete an inspection is reduced.
  • 35 W output power – low heat generation and energy consumption. No need for cooling fans. The Labino uv-lamp Creates a pleasant work environment and reduces energy costs.
  • Immediate start/restart – full power of uv-lamp in approximately 5-15 seconds - which saves time.
  • UV-lamp unaffected by magnetic fields – highly suitable for MPI.
  • UV-lamp is dust tight and temporary water jetting proof. Can be used in rough conditions, even outdoors (IP65 certified). UV-filter will not crack if exposed to fluids. High quality.
  • CE-marked – according to electromagnetic compatibility and the low voltage directive. Safe.
  • ETL/cETL approved – by Edison Testing Laboratories, according to UL and CSA standards. Safe.
  • Semko approved. Safe.
  • Comprehensive product range, including different mains, voltages and portable battery operated units with a choice of handles. Flexible.
